I'm a little curious to see how high someone has dared to push a 6th gen 2.3 auto without any problems? Any boosted autos on here approaching 190-200?

 

I bet I could get 350 hp to the wheels on an Automatic transmission....maybe once...

The key here is reliability...

 

with my experience ive seen boosted auto 2.3 ULEV vtec motors go up to 300 hp with out no problems

 

But is that 300 at teh wheels or at teh crank?

 

Is anyone pushing ANY power on an auto 6th gen?

Any consistent low 15/high 14 second ETs on an auto 6th gen without tranny problems?

 

The problem is that some of the 6th gen auto trannies, particularly the V6's, are weak. A lot of people have had 2 or 3 new trannies in their car. I'm on my 2.5th. They were designed incorrectly, and usually the strain put by extra performance like nitrous or a turbo will cause it to fail very quickly. I have only had intake and exhaust, and got my tranny fluid changed at 25k instead of 30k, and mine STILL failed.


The only way to run some good boost numbers (more than 5lbs) totally reliably would be to swap to a 5 speed or get your tranny bulletproofed by a place like Level 10.

 

i think all the f series auto tranny sucked, honda isnt exactly known for their auto trannies especially if your trying to put any power through them. mine died after 2 yrs of light nitrous use. best mod i ever did was convert to manual.

 

When I was still auto I put down a hair over 300whp with turbo. But I had to re-build the tranny 3 times and this was with a shift kit. I only was able to put about 1500 miles on it each time at the most.
